money, owing to their foolishness in demanding fortunes for seats.Then the caterers did not find the crowds as hungry and thiisiy as (hey considered the people ought to bave been.The tradesmen found that the Jubilee visitors could not buy to any great extent, as it took almost all their savings to see the show, and there has been considerable grumbling on the subject of Jubilee houois.The meu w hose names have been left off the list are notably Liberal politicians and former Ministers, who declare that the honors were given on the strictest party lines, With the exception of «ir William Yernou Harcourt, no former Liberal Minister was invited to be , present at the ceremony before St, Paul's Cathedral, and the members of the House of Commons who arrived too late at Buckingham Palace to be in the audience, declaie that the Queen should have waited for them.The charitable societies\u2019 women think that the Princess of Wales' dinner to the poor W'as a kindly thought, but they claim it was a mistaken idea and that the money had better been given to the societies dealing habitually with this work.An undertaker is grumbling because he prepared a thousand coffins, and no one needed them.The temperance people are wildly raving at beer having been given to the outcast poor, and there are thousands of com-plaiuts, based upon jealousy, that everybody could not get a front seat at a favored place, and a) everything.THE QUEEN WELCOMES FIRE BRIGADES.Windsor, June 26 \u2014Yesterday the Queen drove to Windsor Park and visited six thousand school children who were

White House, as the enemy advanced, was to seize he Declaration of Independence and carry it with her to a place of safety.As the White Ifouie was immediately afterward looted and burned by the

DIAMOND JUBILEE.The feelings of the Australian colonists in connection with the recent celebration of the sixtieth year of the Queen\u2019s reign were eloquently expressed by Mr.George Houston Reid, Premier of New South Wales, when responding to a toast at a farewell banquet tendered him in the Sydney Town Hall by the Mayor and citizens of Sydney, and at which all shades of political opinion were\u2019 represented, the Governor, Viscount Hampden, also being one of the guests, ho said \u201cIn the darker days of thu p»st the colonies were treated too much as if they were people who were incompetent to manage their own affairs, but under the administration of a number of enlightened statesmen the attitude of Downing Street has veered away from the attitude of 50 years ago to an opposite IKiint.And now the people of Australia can feel no sting of inferiority\u2014cm feel no resentment at interference.We have the fullest initiative which it is possible for a free self-governing people to assert, and as the sway of Downing Street relaxes the feelings of loyalty strengthen, until now, when the tie seems to be so very indistinct as almost to bo invisible, there is between these colonies and Great Britain a feeling\u2014you may call it a sentiment, but it is a sentiment infinitely stronger than the tie which binds people anywhere under the rule of despotism.There is a generous recognition in Great Britain of our political equality.When we speak of the British throne, and when we express our loyalty to the illustrious occupant of that throne, wo have behind those great feelings a teeling stronger and greater still, a feeling which looks upon the sent of the Sovereign and her power as the symbol, not of a monarch, not of mnkv but of the indestructible unity of the Bri* tkh race.And behind every accent of \u2018God Save theQuoen\u2019 is an earnest petition to our Divine Father that He may always bless the kindred millions that inhabit the British Isles.The retgn of Queen Victoria has been attended by many notable events.But its predominating character, theattributc which will enable ittostandoul from the reigns of all the otheVmofiarchs of the Empire, is the fatt that its victories have nearly all been victories of peace.Inventions in the industriel world, enterprise in the sphere of commerce, liberality and toleration in politics, have all eomMnc**.lit create during that WettVoVablo reign sub-«tanttaBy ft fiew people.The darknesses And suspicions, the fears and restrictions of fifty years ago, by their removal, have brought to the people of the Mother Country a large measure of that happiness And prosperity which We enjoy in thesM» Wore favored lande.And if there is one lesson which (hb teignof Queen Victoria teaches to mankind more plainly than another it is that the more those in authority, those who make laws, seek to recoguixo hu inanity and equality and freedom, the more stable becomes the fabric of political power, peace> and ptoiptirity.\u201d Mr.Reid also spoke ftt £nme length on the prospects of Australian Federation, the draft bill for securing which is now engaging the attention of the Colonial Parliaments.He said : \u201cWe must all feel as the years go on that tie after tie is added which makfes state of isolation, which makes a state of antagonism, not only unnatural, but in the highest sense injurious to the whole of the people of Australia.I do hope that the wisdom of the convention, enlightened by the suggestions from the various legislatures will hit upon a constitution that we can all honestly and loyally accept.And when we do arrive at that consummation, when all the energies of this great contin.ent are brought into a permanent alliance, when all the peoples of these colonies feel at last that they are one, feel at last that they are banded together to face the future whether it bring danger and diSASter» or peace and prosperity, out of that alone can we hope that this vast continent will be populated so and governed so that it can begin a career worthy of the cnYeet of that great race whose example we hope to emulate, and whose qualities, I trust, we shall always share.\u201d EDITORIAL NOTES.If anyone had any doubts of Great Britain\u2019s ability to rule the seas, a glance at Saturday\u2019s great naval review,\u2014which is reported elsewhere in our cablegrams,\u2014 Would be sufficient to dispel them.At this partial mobilization of the British fleet there was present a stronger array of marine fighters than any other Power could muster.The British army is now experimenting with a Wand new invention in thé Way of a rifle rest attached to the rifle itself.By the use of this, expert shots become perfect and indifferent shots eX|>ert.The invention promises to revolutionize the percentage of accuracy of aim in the British army.The new idea was conceived by W.8.Simpson, of Pall Mall.It is a rod of steel, nine inches long, fitted within a ball socket to the stock of the rifle.When not in use this rest, which weighs only three ounces, is held by a spring within a groove along the stock and is not in the least degree an inconvenience.The method of shooting with a rifle to which the rest is attached is that the soldier half kneels, and then dropping one end of the rod from the stock of the rifle, ho rests it as surely and steadily as if the barrel of his piece were lying on the appex of a stone wall.There is no danger of sudden and unexpected defection of bullets, but the uio of the rest makes a sharpshooter of every soldier and has the same resultant effect that follows the tire of a body of picked marksmen.Of course, such a weapon as this would not bo particularly uioful in close quarters, but when the armies were separated by, say, 200 yards, the advantage of the gun with a rest would at once become apparent.So favourable has been the impression the rest has created that the Committee of the National Rifle Association has decided to have the rifle rest competition at 900 yards range.In Scotland the range is to be 600 yards.Notes and News.Personal Intelligence.Col.J.B.Amyot and family'left

Order of Nurses.Saturday\u2019s Meeting.! The Queen and Her Loyal Subjects of Quebec.Ÿ1SI1 TO VJCTOHIA PARK.On Saturday afternoon a number of leading Udies and gentlemen of this city assembled at the City Hill to hear Lady Aberdeen explain her scheme for the establishment in Canada of a Victorian Order of Nurses to commemorate Her Mujcaty\u2019s Jhbilee.The invitation eards said 4.30 p.m., but it was fl -lo before the Viceregal party arrived, an accident having detained the I.C.R.train which brought them from Halifax lor considerably over an hour.When Lady Aberdeen with the Governor-General and stall ar' rived, they Acre teceiVed by Bis Worship the Mayor, lion\".8.N.Parent, who escorted them to his reception rooms where the invited parlies awaited them.Sir Adolphe and Lady Chapleau were the first with whom their Excellencies shook hands on entering and the meeting was at once organised, His Honor the l,ieiilauam*Governor being rc* quested to take the chair, which he tilled with much ability, In a few words he mentioned the object of thfc gathering, with which He wat in full sympathy, and then called upon Her Excellency to take the floor herself, as she was far the best person to lay before those present the aims and objects of the proposed Order.The Countess spoke for only a few minutes, her face all the time wreathed in smiles.8he thanked those present for their goodness and patience in waiting so long, and said that she had anticipated an empty house when she found how long she had been delayed.For the present she was unprepared to make any set statement on the subject which had called them together, but she wished to have a little informal chat and form a provisional committee to work up and study the matter in a quiet way.Ihere had been, she said, const derable opposition to the scheme, but this was to be attributed to misunderstandings, and on the whole the project had met with much kindness.With reterence to the reac-luttoDS against it adopted by a certain medical society in Ontario, they were only to be accounted for by a misconception and by the fact that the society had had no opporttloi ties of studying the matter and seeing its benefits.Tho body in question apparently thought that the idea was to put untrained nurses in the field, while it wae really intend ed to have them better trained than any others.No one would want those who were to bave the honor of bearing the Queen name to be inferior to any.Moreover, the project was not put before the public before it had been submitted to some of the highest medical men in Canada; and physicians who had the very highest standing, such as Doc tori Craik, 8\u2019.ewart, Roddick and Lachapell had given it their unreserved support, had been supposed that without the million dollars asked for nothing could be done, but a small part of that sum would be sufficient to make a good beginning, and once the beauties of the Order had been seen some places, others would speedily arrange to take them up.Her Excellency then suggested that any information desired on the subject would probably be best obtained by questions put bo her by any persons iu the meeting which she would try to auswen Lord Aberdeen at once rose and asked what special training, other than that received by regular trained nurses, would be imparted to those of the proposed Order; To this, Her Ladyship Replied that her ihedical friends Would be asked to draw up standard of requirement and a test or examina lion to be applied to all candidates.She was not certain, but thought that even regular trained nurses would be obliged to stand this teat and to have some practical experience, as well as & full knowledge of ''ookery, which very few trained nurses at present have; They would also be taught to make much of little, that is to say, to make up from very trifling and inexpensive materials those little knick knacks which tend to make things more comfor\u2019able for invalids, such as cushions, etc.Another direction in which they would be trained would be the art of keeping the children quiet, by devising games, etc., and of instructing those who would have charge of the sick person and who might often be young children, what to do until the next visit.Such a system is in vogue in Massa chusetts, where there is an Order of District Nurses.Their training extends over a period of two years.In the first they have six months\u2019 hospital traioingandsix months\u2019 district work in the .econd three months\u2019 hospital and nine months\u2019 district work.The doctors there now say that they do not know how they would get on without them.As for the money, its object would be to give each nurse a regular salary of say $300 to $500, accord ing to the work and expenses incurred.In each district there would be a local Com mit:ee, who would arrange the scale of fees etc.None of this money would be touched by the nurses, but would be collected by the local Board and sent to the central fund whence the nurses would be paid.The O.der was not ihtended to be a charitable one, nor were its members to nurse for no thing.Of course, in case of extreme poverty and absolute inability to pay, the doctor and local Committee cocld provide for attend ance.Sir Adolphe Chapleau asked if municipal aid would not be expected.To this Lady Aberdeen replied in the affirmative, but said that the local Com mittees would be expected to see after The Central Board would first provide the nnrses and put them on the ground.Sir Adolphe then said that it was unfortu uately too true that the hospitals in Canada t3o often very imperfectly earned out their work.In this opinion Her Ladyship concurred and she expressed the hope that they might in many instances, be induced to admit the nurses and send them out when needed.She firmly hoped to secure their co-operation wherever available as headquarters for the nurses.Iu isolated localities, as for instance near lumber camps, cabins might be built where a couple of them could live together.It was also intended to provide for some male nurses, who could be stationed in mining districts and other rough places.Lord Aberdeen said that although it had been said ihat the medical profession was against the Order, he was quite unable to name any really prominent doctors who op posed it, and he asked if anyone present could do so.Proceeding, he added that the meeting of the British Medical Association which is to take place in Montreal next fall would afford a large opportunity for bringing the scheme prominently forward.He be lieved that the Association would aay \u201cgo on and prosper as do similar organizations in our own country.\u201d Both His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor and the Hon.Mr.Marchand then intimated to Lady Aberdeen their perfect sympathy with the cause, and she in turn assured them that she would in good time afford them an opportunity of giving practical expression to their feelings as representatives of the Province.Her Ladyship further announced that she had decided to keep the subscription list open to the end of the year, and that Hon R.R.Dobell had expressed his inten lion of heading the Quebec list with $1,000.Lord Aberdeen asked that in any outside mention of the meeting which might be made, it would be stated that it was not a public one, but merely au informal githering of invited friends to hold a conference on the matter.Her Ladyship then suggested that all those present be named a Committee to commence operations and stir up pecuniary and other interest in the matter.This was done.The official list of those present, which has been handed us for publication, is as follows ;\u2014Lord an 1 Lady Aberdeen, Captain Wilberforce, A.D.C., Lieuten-ant-Goveruor Sir Adolphe Cuapleau and Lady Chapleau, Sir L.N.Casault, Hon S.N.Parent

Mrs.E.T.Coulombi.*, Mrs.P.1».Casgram, Mr.A Alarie, Mr.P.Casgrain, Mr.K.Chambers, Mr.W.Si rois.His Houor the Lieutenant-Governor then asked His Worship the Mayor to accept the Presidency of the Committee, to which His Worship replied as follows : \u2014 The motion of Sir Adolphe Chapleau is to me a most llallering one.The work to which Her Excellency Lady Aberdeen is devoting herself is a great and uatioual one, full of harity and philanthropy.For that reason the Order resembles the great Queen whose name it bears, and uo more tavorahle circumstance than tho Jubilee of Her Majesty could be chosen for ils fouudaticu.Iu fact, F.SIMARD'S ADVERTISEMENT.SUMMER NOVELTIES.SUITINGS IN ALL THE LATEST DESIGNS IN ENGLISH, SCOTCH & CANADIAN TWEEDS All Marked at Very Popular Prices.MiEasrs

had been handsomely decorate for their reception by the gardener, Mr.Siné, and upstairs a splendid cold luncheon was supplied, It was admirable in every res pect, and the best proof of this is found in the fact that it was prepared by Mr.Douglas, the highly efficient Steward of the Union Club, and his able wife.The guests remain ed quite a little while and greatly admired the fine lay out of the Park.It must hav been a great pleasure to His Worship the Mayor and Alderman C.E.Roy, to whose labors the Park is mostly to be attributed, to see how fully it was appreciated.The statue of the Queen just erected in the Park greatly improves it, and the Chronicle represents tive was informed that up to date Mr.Siné has supplied over 19,000 plants out of his magnificent green house for its ornamenu

Ottawa, June 26\u2014Afier some preliminary skirmishiug over the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway Bill, Hou.Mr.Blair moved the House into Committee on the vote of $157.000 for uioe months\u2019 rental of the Grand Trunk and Drummond County Railway.The Minister said that the proposition to extend the Intercolonial Railway 10 Montreal had got to come and no opposition raised to it would be effective.It was proposed to pay the same rate of rental as was proposed in the contract rejected by the Senate.This arrangement was made as an experiment and probably next winter Parliament would be asked to continue it another year.By the end of that period he was absolutely sure that there would be no opposition to the proposed extension on the terms first agreed upon.As to the investigation into the affairs of the Drummond County Rsilway, the Government courted it and defied it.The Government was committed to this policy of exleu-siou and would not depart from it.Hon.Mr.Foster asked whether Hon.Mr.Blair expected the House to vole all this mouey with uo other explanation than five minutes of threats, declamation and prediction ?After further warm preliminary discussion, Hon.Mr.Tune took the floor.He said that the whole opposition to this measure grew out of the conspiracy of Mr.C.N.Armstrong, whom Hon.Mr.Tarte denounced furiously.Mr.Armstrong wauled the Government to buy the Baie des Chaleurs Railway, on which he had borrowed much money.The Government knew Armstrong well and would not touch him with a ten foot pole, Hun.Mr.Foster\u2014\\\\ hen you touch people you get nearer them, though.Hon.Mr.Tarte, continuing his diatribe, began to talk about bimseif, assuming apparently that if there was suspicion of steal in the Drummond County Railway scheme he would be supposed tu be in it.He began to defy all the world to investigate his record.The w hole suspicion grew out of the fact that La Patrie newspaper had teen bought.It was true that/.a Patrie had been acquired.The late owner, Mr.Ueaugrand, had telegraphed him (Hon.Mr.Tarte) that he wanted to sell it.The Liberal party needed an organ and so the matter was arranged.It was true that Mr.J.N.Grecnshielda, President of the l>.Filteau, Buade Street.Our pills cure it ay lives 1 we make our great boost, while others do not.Cartkr\u2019s Litti.k r.ivzR Pi Lis are very small and very easy to take.One or two pills maka a dose.They are strictly vegetable and do not gripe or purge, but by their gentle action please all who use them In vials at 25 cents;

or \u201c (b) To restrain or Injure trade or com merce in relation to any such article or com modity ; or \u201c(c.)

the proceedings of which would be open Ï Mr.Casgrain\u2014I shall coipo that ju a moment.I say that thor# is danger if tho investigation be private and probably more danger if it be public.There are a great many instances In tho books which treat on this question, under the criminal law of the ttniiM,! a,*'es.of persons having been brought Uni leu _\tr\tunJer sections before the Criminal v.w.which yery much resemble this in the 1».-\u2022 the United Slates, and having been punished, andin al) Subcases, tho accused has had, first of all, the safeguard of tfiis preliminary investigation, and then bis case must fie passed upon by the G rand J ury.ft then coijVes before the petty jury, which is tho palladium of tho liberties of the subject iu this country, and where punishment may be meted out 10 him, and no punishment can he meted out to him before he is found guilty after having been given the opporiuoity of making a full defcnpe before the petty jury.But under ihja section, no such procedure is provided for.\u2019At the end of tbe section, ) find )he subsection which teada 1\u2014 \u201cThe Governor-in-Council may make such regulations as may be deemed advisable for the < (fectual conduct of such inquiry.\" It seems to me that in an important matter of this kind, affecting the rights of ihe subject, the procedure should be regulated, not by Order-in-Couucil, but by some law passed by this House after a full and critical examination by all the members of this House.This is not a political question but ons In- guards provided as should be provided in a case of such extreme gravity and as are provided by our Criminal (.lode.A Judge is empowered to pass on it in a summary way.He is empowered to send for witnesses and for the books and papers of the accused, that the innermost secrets of the business of the accused may be exposed the world, if this Inquiry is to bo made a public inquiry.Even though he be innocent, even though his case may have been brought before the Court on the simple suspicion that a combination or unlawful agreement exists, his business may be ruined.I asked the Government whether the accused\t« tv \u2022 n \u2022 r will have the right to call witnesses in hia Y £1116 Ql rflZ6S Xlâllglllg îrOIIl own behalf and to set up a complete defence.Will he have the right to employ a lawyer or counsel to defend him ?Suiely he should be entitled to a complete defence.He would j be entitled to that in a simple case of assault, : and when his whole business career is at ( stake, when his whole fortune is at stake, when all his business transactions are to be ! made the subject of a critical examinai ion, , surely he ought to be at liberty to make the fullest defence possible.I asked tho question a momentagowhether or not this investigation was to be public or j private.If it is to be private, I say that is wrong.You will be imposiug on a judge in the first place & very onerous duty, a duty which no judge iu this coontry will care to take upon himself, a responsibility which he will be certainly very loath* to shoulder, and I say it is detrimental to the administration of justice in this country to hive our judges giving opinions upon matters which j are stmi-poluical or which certainly will become semi-political.If this Investigation is tobe private/then the judge will not be subjected to the critical eye of the public.It will be a star chamber inquiry, and we will have the press bf this country and the public opiuibn of this country\u2014oh one side of politics at least-declaring, in every case, that the Judge was biassed, and that he gave his decision, not on strict legal grounds, not on matters of fact, but to a ci-rUin extent ou political bias orpn other motives which should not influence the judiciary.But should the investigation be public, there would again be the greatest danger to the ciiizen who, on simple suspicion, was brought before the tribunal.Suppose the accused is not guilty ; suppose there was some mistake, suppose that he has been subjected to some political persecution.\\Ve are all human.Even if this very good Government could not commit any such offence, perhaps some other Government which we may have in the future might bring Such person up before this Court and persecute him in this way.And suppose that the Judge makes a report that there is no such unlawful combination as is supposed to exist.Still the ruin of this man will be almost complete.Not only will he have been subjected lo gfeat annoyance and expense, but he will ha^e haï) all his business transactions laid before the world, fiis' books and papers exposed to ifie public gazs and his most conti; dential matters made knoiyn to his rivals.Now, this is a stale of things unheard of under the ponstitutiou under which we live j nothing has ever appeared in our Statute-books which equals thi?, I take, it therefore, that this procedure should be surrounded with the mmost oare and prudence, that it should not be left to the Governorrin-Council to work out these rules but, if this procedure is to be adopted, it must be after it has passed the critical judgment of this House.Now, there is another objeotlon that I have to this proposal.Suppose that the Judge reports that the manufacturer who has been brought before the tribunal is really guilty of the unlawful combination ot whioh he is accused.The report of the Governor-in-Council will be made against him, their report will go forth to the world, and the duty will be lowered or abolished altogether.This will mean that this man will be punished, and punished very harshly, punished far more severely than he would be if prosecuted and found guilty under the Criminal Code by a jury of his countrymen.But not only will he be punished by the provisions of the resolution now before the Committee, but he will be punished twice, an unheard of thing under British law.Not only will he be liable to be punished in the manner described in section 17, but when this report is m ide to the Governor-in-Council, he will be liable to be brought up before any Court of criminal jurisdiotion by any informer in the country, and be punished n second time under article 520.What can ho expect, after this report has gone\tforth and he has been branded as a combinester, guilty of entering into an unlawful agreement to enhance the prioes of commodities in this country \u2019 He will not be able to get a fair trial.Juries in this country are more or less swayed by political bia?, and if this man is brought up in a Criminal Court, the jury having before it the judgment ,of the other Court and the report of the Governor-in Council, naturally certain of them will not wish to reverse the judgment of the J udge afid qf jfief8 thirteen men of the Cabinet.Heyond the objection raisei) by the leadcp of the Opposition (Sir Gnaries Tapper) there are these objections which, I think, *hayld caution the Government against putting on the Statute Book such an unusual procedure as that in the proposition before the House Ineperlion of Milk, Licenses for Milkmen, and Milk Dealers.asrovxoxr.THE MILKMEN AND MILK MER-chants of the City of Quebec and the neighboring parishes, who sell milk in the said City, are hereby notified that in virtue of the By-law of the City of Quebec No.327, they must procure on or before the thirtieth day of June instant, a license for the year beginning on the lit of May last, for which they shall pay ' one dollar and for this purpose they must apply to the undersigned.LEONIDAS POULIN, Veterinary Surgeon and Milk Inspector.Board of Health Office, City Hall.Between tbe hours of 9 and 11 A.M.and 4 P.M.By order, H.J.J.B.CHOUINARD, City Clerk.June 15.IST.\ttJyl ANTOINE LANGLOIS, AGENT, Mountain Hill, Quebec.June j 18*7.\t_______goo&sat-Lm Legion d\u2019Honenr Stationer;
